Welcome to the KHOSA Sports Club and in particular the KHOSA Road Running Section.
Membership registration will commence on 10th of January at 18h00–19h00 at the club, followed by every Wednesday thereafter between 18h00 and 19h00. Please note that registration will be held every Wednesday until further notice. We do however wish to ask that you register early in January to ease with logistics.
The following activities have been scheduled for the year: (All subject to date confirmation via email)

KHOSA RR 15km Race 12th May 2019Every member is expected to help out on the day.This is our main fund raising event of the year. At time of registration please give details of which duty you are prepared to help with. We need Marshals, helpers at Registration tables, etc., etc.

Time Trials
These are run every Wednesday evening from the club starting at 18h00. Choose between 2km, 4km or 8km. The runners with the top 10 accumulated time trial distances between October 2018 and September 2019 will receive a prize at prize giving. All times are recorded and will be available at request from our statistician.
The 8km time trial route is a double lapper and basically follows the route of the 4km time trial, with one exception. The route is as follows: out the club gate left into Shannon Rd – down Shannon for 3 blocks and then left into Glen St – follow Glen for several blocks and then right into Endon Rd – after 1 block left into Willoughby St – through the deep dip and then right into Tralee Rd – after 1 block right into Frederick Cooper Dr (keep to the service road on the left) – left into Endon Rd past Laerskool Kenmare – right into the road opposite the Kenmare main entrance gate – after 1 block left into Waterford Rd – right into Clew St - follow Clew around the tennis courts and the bowls green – straight down Shannon and for the 4km turn left into the club grounds. The 8km runners don’t turn into the club after the first lap but continue straight down Shannon but don’t take Glen but after an additional block turn right into Contour Rd – follow Contour until it joins Glen – right into Glen and from there on the route is identical to the 4km route. It is important that 8km time trial runners first complete the 4km route and then deviate from that during the 2nd lap of the 8km time trial.
During the winter months it gets dark early on and runners are required to wear reflective clothing for safety purposes.
Youngsters under the age of 16 will not be allowed to run unless accompanied by a parent/adult supervisor.
Inter Club Time Trials are run between various West Rand clubs. You will be notified of these events via email.

Club Runs
A WhatsApp group has been created purely for notification of pending runs. Any member can post a run HOWEVER no chatting on this group will be permitted.

Saturday and Sunday morning runs
WhatsApp will be sent to notify you of club runs which normally leave from the club on a Saturday and Sunday at 06h00 during the summer months, and 07h00 during the winter months. You will be notified via WhatsApp on a weekly basis.

Event Races, Club Weekends, Social Diary, AGM & Prize Giving
As per the schedule, see below

Event races
The KHOSA gazebo will be at these races and refreshments are provided for the runners and their supporters. We encourage all members to attend these event races and relax awhile before rushing home.

Club Weekends provided that there is sufficient numbers
The Running Club will make tent site booking arrangements on behalf of the members once deposit has been paid. Runners are responsible to bring their own camping equipment (tents/caravans and all other equipment) and for all the costs of accommodation, race entries, transport and meal costs for the weekend. These weekends are a lot of fun and it gives you a chance to run in different environments.

Comrades
A function is held at the club, normally the Saturday before Comrades where we encourage all our members to gather so that we can wish our Comrades runners all the best.
At the finish of Comrades our gazebo(s) will be there and details of its whereabouts will be emailed out to our members.
We organise an “Aches & Pains” function after Comrades so that stories can be told and achievements celebrated.Comrades
